Why do you need an stick? Most rental places don't have 'em because people tend to tear them up.

Find a place that rents sports cars. Perhaps they would have an S2000 or something similar that isn't made in an auto version.

no, I know how to drive a stick, my first car was a stick. Now I have an automatic and I need to rent a car for a few days while mine gets serviced (need to replace timing belts, brakes, tires, oil change. I wanted to rent something sporty with a stick because I miss driving a stick.
